Hump Day Helper -- Zhuang-O Birthday Edition

Because it's Wednesday, and we all need a pick-me-up to make it through the rest of the week in our respective hells, WDR is providing some fun.



Fresh off the celebration of Mr. Zhuang's birthday, we're providing a video from his all-time favorite artist for the Helper. Of course, what with Universal Music Group's restrictive youtube policy, it's hard to find an embeddable video. So even though the choice kicks some serious ass, don't read too much into it--it's just what we could fit.

This one comes from the "Broken" EP, which outside of NIN-circles doesn't get much play. There's probably a reason for it--a song like this is the reason why we can use "brutal" in describing some music. However, in cases like this, it's meant as a compliment. You have to also love the contrast between Trent and Vrenna's intensity to the guys tooling away on the computers.

Smashed up my sanity
smashed up my integrity
smashed up what i believed in
smashed up what's left of me
smashed up my everything
smashed up all that was true
gonna smash myself to pieces
I don't know what else to do...


Bonus points if you can pick out the appearances by superstars of 90s alterna-rock Richard Patrick and Marilyn Manson.
